I'm worried that Villeneuve will be hit by the Shyamalan curse: that after two masterpieces (Incendies and Prisoners, both MoMagic!s), he'll start showing a downward trend. Enemy, which was made between the two films, is the Jose Saramago-based story of a depressed history teacher who discovers there's an exact lookalike of him out there - with very creepy consequences. There are some strange, hard-to-believe, enchanting and even discomforting moments here, and although I think I understood the David Lynchian ending, it didn't have the tremendous punch of ViIlleneuve's other films. Still, I'm hoping for better films to come.
